Jones: Cheika can think what he likes

Eddie Jones says the three-Test Cook Cup series is being played in the right spirit, despite Wallabies boss Michael Cheika’s accusations of off-the-ball “niggle” tactics by England.

The tourists got under Australia’s skin in their 39-28 victory in Brisbane last weekend with their confrontational approach, and while Cheika is prepared for more of the same in Saturday’s crucial second Test at AAMI Park, he claimed it was “not our go” and that his side wouldn’t be descending to that level.
